New Michael Jackson Biopic Finds Its Star

The film cuts right into 2006, when Jackson and his three kids were returning to the U.S. from their stay in Bahrain, where they had been residing to avoid the press, following his clearance from all of the child-molestation charges. They move to Las Vegas, where he hoped to score a casino-concert residency.

Before Jackson is introduced, the audience meets his body guard Whitfield, who is a single father in the private-security industry who is determined that any future tours won’t ever take away his beloved time with his daughter. Unfortunately, much to his dismay, Whitfield is hired immediately as Jackson’s personal body guard, making him the only full time employee besides the other body guard, and the housekeeper.

Jackson’s world as portrayed here is incredibly sheltered. Throughout the film, investigators will ask the Beard and Whitfield who was there the most for the star out of everyone else that he knew. The answer to this question is a selective one. There was nearly no one there for the famous pop star other than certain members of his staff, his mother, his children, and the fans hovering anxiously outside the gates of Neverland. Other Jackson family members can be seen occasionally demanding money or other personal needs of the star.
